Woah cool! Someone is still using the Neowin widget I made :D

Yeah, it continues to work even after Neowin made some big changes to the board.

BTW... Do you still work on the widget? What is the latest version?

It's actually the icon. You just click "get info", click the icon in the top left, and then just copy and paste an image in.

What size image do you use the picture as an icon? I went and found posters of the movies I have and just converted them to icons using Pixadex but it's distorted and unclear. Any specific way I should be doing it or at least a better way?

^ I just got the pictures off imdb that little size and then saved it as a png in photoshop then put it in pixadex and selected it and draged the file onto that drop thing and it turned out good, try imdb cause they got a size that seemed to work pretty nice for me. Also make your icons size in your movies folder (or where ever) the largest size.

I've used mac a few times and it's promising. If I ever get rich or get a job cause I am 16 and CAN work, I might buy a Mac Mini. They are nice, interface is clean too.

By the time you have enough money to buy the Mac mini, you might as well save up a little more and get the iMac. It's really much better, having a full computer in one compact casing.

its a lot easier to just copy a picture (into clipboard) and then paste on as icon...

no need to convert or anything.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
